Stop by the Fry Healthcare Foundation booth to buy your lucky number; each entry is $5.00.
All proceeds from the golf tournament will be used in the Fry Healthcare Foundation annual fund raising campaign to benefit the Hospital.
Hospital Auxiliary – Be sure to purchase raffle tickets from the Hospital Auxiliary. Proceeds from the sale will go toward purchasing items directly for the Hospital.
